József Fogl, also known as József Fogoly, József Újpesti and Fogl III (14 August 1897 – 6 February 1971) was a Hungarian footballer who played for Újpest FC, as well as representing the Hungarian national football team.
Fogl was born in Újpest, Austria-Hungary[citation needed]. Between 1920 and 1930 he played 37 games for the Hungarian national team as a left defender. Together with his older brother, Károly Fogl II, the two Fogls formed the legendary "Fogl-gate" (Fogl-gát in Hungarian), an extremely powerful and tough defending formation for more than a decade.
Fogl III won the 1929 Mitropa Cup and the 1930 Coupe des Nations as well as the 1929-30 and 1930-31 season with Újpest, being the captain of the team on all occasions. He died in Budapest on 6 February 1971.
